Great example of a Napa style Cabernet. Quite a bit of oak still present. Fruit is still intense but is quite well balanced with the tannins and acid. Sad that this is the last bottle. Probably should have had more patience and sat on it another 10 years.

Classic 100% cab / black cherries & coffee on the nose / heavy tannin / enjoyed half bottle second day using aerator moreso than p&p the first evening / the aromatic offering is best with a good aeration and long breath, first day it didn't seem to open up enough / mouthfeel was impressive, seemed pleasing from start to finish. We had the expectation of this to be an intimadating wine but found it quite tame.

A rich and round Napa Cabernet that checks the boxes, but tastes a bit faded - and should be drunk now. Dark purple in color, full in body, nose of blackberry and tree bark. Tastes of black cherry, graphite, leather, and cedar, with a somewhat chalky and dry finish. 14.4% alcohol. This 100% Cabernet still presents the oaky and fruity profile one expects from a modern Napa cabernet priced in the three-digits, but it is somewhat tired - and not very exciting.

Awesome Cab. Perfect balance of fruit, spice, green pepper, oak, structure. Great with rack of lamb.
